Justaju

"Justaju" is Persian for search, inquiry or desire. As the title suggests, the writings are not only a reflection on life, love, people, dreams, time or universe in totality, but a quest for understanding filled with faith and hope, a search for light in darkness. There are eighteen selected poems in this collection which have been written over the past fifteen years or so. Though each poem is somewhat an outcome of personal experience or wish and desire, it is also a work that endeavours to spark a connection with you and find a rhythm in your heart. Please note that the illustration for each poem has been created by Alpna Harishchandra, a gold-medallist from MSU, Baroda.
